• The car has a full genuine BMW Mini Service history and was last serviced in November 2013 having had the brakes and oil service performed at Dick Lovett BMW MINI in Bristol. The next service is not due until 2015, with the rear brakes
• The car is HPI clear with no accidents or outstanding finance.
• The car has had the timing chain replaced by BMW Mini less than 8000 miles ago (common fault) and the satnav drive replaced less than 6 months ago, another common fault.
• During my ownership, the car has been service every year regardless of need.
• The Air-conditioning was re-gassed in Autumn of last year and blows VERY cold.

Condition:

• The cars bodywork is excellent with only a few stone chips and a small mark on the lower rear bumper to note. There are no other dents, scratches or rust of any type
• The cars mechanicals are excellent with no warning messages, or faults evident in either dash warning lights or general operation.
• The alloy wheels were fully refurbished over a year ago and are still immaculate without even a single scuff or mark. £400
• The Continental Sport Contact tyres are between 5mm and 6mm all around the car.

Care and Condition:

I am fastidious in the care of all of my cars; as such, this car has been fully detailed during my ownership and is now in immaculate condition. The car is only ever hand washed and twice per year is professionally detailed using the following technique:

The installed LED running lights are genuine 2014 BMW retrofit items and make the car look amazing, and quite unique when on the road. They also make the car much easier to drive on the continent as there is a new regulation for DRLs when entering France.

All items installed (blackjack/spotlights/DRLs etc can be removed for the new owner of required. Once a deposit is paid, I will gladly remove any of the items requested and restore the car to an original state. However, all items installed are genuine BMW items and could have been installed at the factory.

General Use:

Despite what others may say, the is infinitely more practical than the standard Mini. I have had four adults in this car for a long journey and all said it was fine. In addition, the clubman has a proper boot as well as rear legroom, something one can’t say about the mini.

The clubdoor is much more useful with kids than you might imagine.

A wheels-on full adult (not disassembled) bicycle can be carried internally with just the rear seats down.

Running Costs:

MPG: On a motorway run, the car will deliver over 50mpg if driven sensibly. On a regular round trip to Leeds (442 miles) I usually achieve between 50 and 53mpg. My regular commute of 10 miles (each way) on a mix of A, B and congested city roads yields an average MPG of 37-39. A full tank of fuel is ~£60 and will return 420-530 miles.Car Tax: is £150 per year, or £12 per monthInsurance: A year of fully comprehensive insurance costs me only £181 per year.

Summary:

If you appreciate well specified, luxury small cars, which deliver great economy, performance, practicality, style and are still easy to drive and park within cities, you will NOT be disappointed. The Clubman delivers all of these things and is now available for a BARGAIN price.

N.B.

The car is available with a choice of alloy wheels. You can have the silver split rims (original with the car) or the later Black Bullets (pictured). Both have non run flat tyres fitted
